'HERE'S HERBIE!" 



This isn’t good issue, fans. Just sensational, 
colossal, is all. Not worth ten million dollars . . . 
$7,500,000 more like it. Only be crazy about 
“Pirate Gold ” and nuts about “Mom’s New Coat”. 
Expect your letter telling me so, addressed to 
me, Herbie, at 331 Madison Avenue, New York 
17, N.Y. If not received promptly, will deliver 
your head to you on tray . . . please return 
same. Also have few words to say about next 
magnificent issue coming your way— Number 14, 
December- January, on sale at best newsstands 
about middle of October. Purchase of this issue 
will be strictly enforced . . . anyone daring not 
to buy it will be promptly and fatally bopped 
by raspberry lollipop. Only worst kind, that’s all. 
On other hand, smart purchasers will be reward- 
ed by two blue-plate specials — “Herbie Claus is 
Coming to Town” and “Gangway For the Three 
Musketeers”, a “Fat Fury” gasser. Gasps, shrieks 
and roars guaranteed— I, Herbie, appear in both 
and fatter than ever. Be smart. Buy. Butt out 
now— have to look over mail. 



“Dear Herbie: - 

You’re great! I started a sale on your comics 
at a buck apiece — one-billionth of what they’re 
worth— but I made no money. You see, every- 
one had them already! Best story yet, I think, 
was ‘ Good Old Peepwhistle’. Don't worry about 
that fraternity— you were too good for it any- 
way. Goldwater used to be my idol— now it’s 
you. No comparison. No one is better than 
Herbie — not even Soupy Sales! P.S.: Just read 
No. 8. Indescribable . . . it’ll be hard to better. 
Try. The reward's a package of lollipops! (Don’t 
you ever get cavities with all those lollipops? 
If you do, my father’s a dentist and you’re 
welcome. No charge!) 

—Douglas Lavine, 

Wilshire Drive, White Plains, New York.” 

No problem, Douglas. Second. 1 get cavity, give 
it immediate lollipop filling. But don’t let this 
get around . ! . might ruin whole dental profes- 
sion. 



“Dear Herbie: - 

On page four, box number 3, you have ‘Pop- 
neckner’ instead of ‘Popnecker’. I think you 
should add Shane O’Shea to your bopping list. 
Hit him with the strawberry one. I think your 



comics are extra colossal. Do you have back 
copies? Don’t reduce — we need you! 

— Jon Backstrom, 

11 Menores Ave., Coral Gables, Florida.” 

Spelling not Shane O’Shea’s fault. Fault of crazy, 
mixed-up letterer, Ed Hamilton. Got down on 
his knees, so I spared him this time. Back copies? 
You trying to insult me? Too popular for that! 

“Dear Herbie: - 

Hey, you-all, this little ol* Texas Herbie-fan 
just had a brainstorm! I’d like to see you in a 
cowboy role, riding broncos and chasing bad 
guys. You’d be just a dream for the role, with 
a 10-gallon hat, spurs and lollipop guns in your 
holsters. You’d be sure to prove what we Texas 
gals mean by ‘In the West, men are men and 
women are darn glad of it!’ I think you’d be just 
grand in a gangster role, too. You know, as a 
King of the Underworld. You’d be perfect with 
your handsome face and manly physic. Love 
and kisses — 

— Lynda Massey, 

311 W. 37th Street, Austin, Texas.” 

Was cast in cowboy role, Lynda . . . issue No. 4, 
.in “Big Fat Mess At The Okay Corral”. Made 
wonderful cowboy, too. Couldn’t miss, with my 
handsome face and— like you say— manly physic. 

“Dear Herbie: - 

Before I start my letter, I would like to set 
it straight that I like your comic a lot. Now that 
that’s settled, here’s my beef. Where do you get 
your nerve to push around all the people who 
buy your comic? I have never seen such an 
ungrateful person. If there was a law against 
Little Fat Nothings threatening people, you 
would never have time to be in your book. You 
would be in jail all the time. In closing, I hope 
by the next few issues, you regain your senses 
and stop this foolishness! 

—Eric Wollman, 

1901-84th Street, Brooklyn, New York.” 

Put you right while you’re still in condition to 
hear human words, Eric— and then POWl Right 
in the kisser! Life is full of weasel folks who 
smile at your face, then stab you in back. Not 
me. Hit you to your face my motto. That way, 
never any doubt about my intentions. Strictly 
lethal. 




“Dear Herbie: - 

Gotta have your comic! Love it. You hand- 
some. My hero. Wish you were here. Stories are 
superb! You powerful. Make me swoon. More 
stories, please. You my kind of Man. Love you. 
Herhie forever! 

— Michelle Henne, 

Route No. 1, Stillwater, Minnesota.” 

Smart girl, Michelle. What other kind could be 
so right about everything? 

“Dear Herbie: - 

I have read all of your issues 10,000 times. I 
know that isn’t enough, but it will do for today. 

I have my own Herbie Popnecker Fan Club. I 
weigh 160 pounds, big belly, glasses and my 
name is Herbie! I like you, Herbie, and all of 
my friends do, too! 

—Herbie Thomas, 

136 Royal Ave., Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.” 

10,000 times enough to read my issues — say that 
because I’m fair type. But not one time less, 
see? About your weight . . . bit on the lean side, 
alid would suggest special high lollipop diet. 

“Dear Herbie: - 

You’re just too much. ‘Herbie’ is just too 
great to oome out only 8 timps yearly. You 
know that and I know that, but that stupid 
clod (no offense, editor!) is too dumb to realize 
it. But I’ve got a plan. You bop him with a 
strawberry lollipop until he consents to make 
• ‘Herbie’ a monthly. And throw in a personal 
bop for me! 

—Rich Walls, 

2096 Cambridge, Des Moines, Iowa.” 

Great idea, Rich. Love bopping dopey editor. 
Turns all black and blue, howls like crazy siren. 

“Dear Herbie: - 

I think all your issues were a scream. I 
especially liked ‘Big Fat Mess At The Okay 
Corral ’ and ' High Spirits’. Only in issue No. 7, 
in ‘ Good Old Peepwhistle ’, how come you know 
so many animals like Fosdick? And if you're so 
great and stupendous, how come .your dad thinks 
( you’re a fat, lousy clod? I love your whole book 
| except for ' Nellie No-Date’. I think she stinks. 
I would rather have another great, stupendous, 
wonderful ‘Herbie’ story to fill in her (ugh!) 

! waste of paper. P.S.: For your Preferred Bop- 
ping List, (1) Our teacher, she always piles 
extra homework on us. (2) People who don’t 
buy ‘ Herbie ’ magazines. (3) The Editor. (4) 
Some other finks in our class. And I promise to 



tell 10 friends about you too. But I bet they 
already know! Your pal — 

— Chris Toth, 

932 Columbus Ave., Benton Harbor, Mich.” 

“Big Fat Mess At Okay Corral ” only wonderful. 
Got many personal friends among animals . . ■ 
got things in common. Am pretty fat clod, too 
. accounts for dad’s opinion. Bopped “Nellie 
No-Date” good, won’t have any more trouble 
from her. 

“Dear Herbie: - 

Sorry, Herb, but you’re not perfect. I hate to 
say it, but you got a failing: you edit letters 
crummy. Some letters are all praise (Nothing 
too wrong there) and then there are a few 
brief ones with actual comments. Now you can’t 
tell me that guys like Paul Gambaccini, Dick 
West, Grasshoppa Green and those other guys 
that write comments don’t stick praise in their 
letters too. But you cut their praise out, and 
print that of your other victims. Shouldn’t do 
that; makes for a choppy letter column. Keep 
the intelligent letters intact. Dump the others. 
It’ll come out easier to read, almost as smooth 
as the stories. . . . What brand lollypoopers you 
get? Gotta know, a connoisseur knows quality 
when he sees it. And I can’t go around support- 
ing second-rate lollipops! Best — 

— Paul Thompson, 

21 Thrush Street, Carpentersville, Illinois.” 

Not perfect — better than. No failings. Don’t edit 
letters. You get real fat McCoy. About lollipops 
— you spy or something? Does Macy tell Gimbel? 
Careful, or compound fractures in Carpenters- 
ville! 

“Dear Herbie: - 

Your books have been really funny. Of all 
the stories you've published, I like 'George 
Washington’s Teeth’ the most. Couple of things 
I would like to know. How can your lollipop 
and grandfather clock take you back in time? 
And how can you make a hot dog with whiskers? 
Also, do you know how George Washington got 
false teeth? Finally, about the Fat Fury. Did he 
— you — get hurt when you ran into the Statue 
of Liberty? 

— Dana L. Davidson, 

1442 50th Avenue, Oakland, California." 

Only Special Purpose Lollipop can do job like 
that and souped-up grandfather clock necessary. 
“Whiskers” on hot dog just means sauerkraut. 
About Washington — really had false teeth, but 
pretty bad ones. Supplied by dentist Vd bopped 
earlier, so what do you expect? Didn’t get hurt 
when l bumped into Statue of Liberty, but 
she’s still convalescing.
